Fatsuits worn by characters are either deliberately visible or mainly concealed. Most are intended as unseen body padding beneath a costume (e.g., Rosemary Shanahan in ''Shallow Hal'', and Sherman Klump in '' The Nutty Professor''), others appear as realistic flesh and are viewed directly (e.g., Fat Bastard in ''Austin Powers'', and Les Grossman's hands in '' Tropic Thunder'').
